The Case of the Expiring Jellies

Twenty one years ago...  My niece is younger than these jellies!

And eight of these are strawberry flavoured – that’s four litres of red jelly. That’s not even counting the raspberry one and the port wine one - also red jellies.

Which is when I realised the awful truth... I’d actually moved with these jelly packets. Packed up the kitchen cupboards, carefully stored these in a box and paid for some burly gentlemen to transport them in a large truck to our new residence. And at that point they were... eight years out of date... less than a decade...

Mmm, I begin to see where the trouble started...

Maybe I need a self help book about the dangers of hoarding... or maybe there’s a Hoarders Anonymous...

Or... now here’s a thought... at what stage might these become collector’s items? Antique jellies! Perhaps I’d better not throw them out yet... maybe they really belong on eBay... maybe there are other jelly hoarders out there who are just dying for an opportunity to buy antique jellies!

Go on... make me feel better.  ‘Fess up about an antique in your kitchen cupboard! Or perhaps you’d like to buy some antique jelly, very special, very rare... and for you, a very special price!
